Chapter 60: Jonin Meeting (Asking for Monthly Votes!!)

Click.

Jiraiya pushed open the door of the conference room.

The light cast his shadow on the wall, as well as the figure behind him.

"Tsunade."

Jiraiya suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the woman behind him, and smiled bitterly: "You don't have to come, the old man didn't even call you..."

Tsunade's pale face was still tired and dazed.

Her right arm was still wrapped in a bandage hanging around her neck, looking very different from her previous vigorous image.

"Is this a jonin meeting?"

After hearing Jiraiya's words, Tsunade seemed to come back to her senses, raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said in a calm tone: "Can't I participate now?"

Feeling that he seemed to have said something wrong again, Jiraiya scratched his head in distress.

However, he didn't dare to say anything more to the sensitive Tsunade now.

Tsunade looked tired and seemed to have not slept for a long time, but in fact she slept for fourteen hours out of the twenty-four hours a day.

Even so, there is still a sense of powerlessness, which can only be attributed to mental fatigue.

Already mentally damaged by the death of Nawaki, and suffering a heavy blow at this time, he always repeats that day in his dreams, causing him to wake up often while sleeping.

A doctor cannot heal himself, and he cannot save others.

This is Tsunade's current state.

"You two are here too."

At this moment, as a generous voice came into his ears, a round figure came over.

Hearing this voice, Jiraiya turned around and said respectfully: "Senior Tofu."

The first person who came to talk to them after entering was Akimichi Tofu, who is now the patriarch of the Akimichi clan.

He was a contemporary of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Shimura Danzo, Uchiha Kagami, Mito Kado En, and Utatane Koharu. They were all selected by the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama and joined the elite guard force, led and taught directly by him.

However, at that time, he was always in a group with Uchiha Kagami to carry out missions.

After Uchiha Kagami died, he quietly faded out of the circle of Konoha's high-level officials and returned to the Akimichi clan to cultivate his descendants.

Even so, his seniority was still terrifyingly high, and Jiraiya had to call him "master uncle".

"Tsunade!"

Seeing Tsunade standing there without saying a word, Jiraiya pulled her sleeve and turned to apologize to Akimichi Qufeng: "Sorry, she is not in a good mental state recently."

"Don't be so polite." Akimichi Qufeng waved his hand indifferently, and his chubby face smiled like a Buddha, as if he had lost his arrogance in his youth.

"Looks like you have recovered well?"

He glanced at Tsunade's arm. The plaster on it had been knocked off, and it was only tied with a bandage with medicine. He smiled and said: "If you have time, you can come to the clan to find me. I have some secret medicine there, which may be able to help you."

"... Thank you."

After a moment of silence, Tsunade whispered a thank you and looked at her arm.

It would take a normal person several months to recover from such an injury, but it was obvious that her bones and flesh healed faster than the people in Konoha Hospital imagined.

In fact, it was all thanks to Jiraiya.

When she was sent for rescue, her bones and flesh and meridians were severely damaged. She was disabled after being put in a splint. She could only lie in bed honestly, taking medicine and getting an IV drip, and being moved here and there.

At first, the nurses took care of her daily life, but Tsunade was very sensitive and irritable, so Jiraiya, who couldn't bear it, simply took care of her himself.

Tsunade was originally in a complicated mood, until this perverted man...

He insisted on helping Tsunade to urinate, and Tsunade, who was playing bad, was forced to jump off the wall with his right fist and hit Jiraiya in the face, which directly broke the arm plaster.

Jiraiya flew backwards, shouting in the air, saying that this was a familiar feeling.

Tsunade felt that she would never forget Jiraiya's mean look at that time.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the tall Jiraiya beside her, and the emotions flashed in her eyes were somewhat complicated.

"Although the recovery speed of bone and muscle injuries is amazing, and the doctor does not understand what changes have occurred in Tsunade's physique, the meridian injury of the arm that conducts chakra has not improved."

Jiraiya scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "So, the doctor's advice to her is to change her left hand to her dominant hand after the injury is healed."

He actually went to secretly ask Mito-sama during this period.

She said that according to her and Tsunade's previous idea of ​​the Yin Seal, if the slug cooperated to release 20 years of chakra, the "creation and regeneration" technique might be able to repair Tsunade's injuries.

Although it sounds like a slim chance, it is at least a hope, enough to cheer Jiraiya up.

However, he did not dare to tell Tsunade before confirming that it was feasible.

Tsunade can't stand any emotional stimulation now. If she goes from disappointment to hope and then to despair, the taut string will probably break completely.

"Have you said enough?"

Hearing Tsunade's low voice beside him, Jiraiya immediately shut up, pretending to be dumb and turned to look at the conference room. After seeing clearly, he was really stunned.

"Why did the old man call so many people?"

Under the lights of the conference room, not only the shadows of the two of them were printed, but also the outlines of people swaying on the walls on both sides, some old, some young, some mediocre and simple, and some ambitious.

As the head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Shifang and as the head of the Hyuga clan, the heads of the two big families who couldn't stand each other were called to the meeting by the old man.

They were standing on both sides of the conference table, not even looking at each other, as if they were unlucky.

There were also the heads of the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, the Akimichi clan, and the famous ninja clans such as the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, as well as the heads of the Sarutobi, Shimura, Inuzuka, and Aburame clans.

In addition, Jiraiya also saw some young unfamiliar faces.

For example, the man with long blue hair, a gentle smile, and a pleasant conversation with others.

The blue-haired man who was talking to others seemed to be keenly aware of Jiraiya's gaze, and turned his head to look.

After looking at Jiraiya, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded politely to Jiraiya, and his eyes swept across Tsunade's face beside him.

"That's Kato Dan."

Akimichi Tofu explained: "The newly promoted Konoha Jonin, proficient in S-level forbidden technique, the art of spiritual transformation, seems to have a good reputation."

Looking at such a complete lineup of Jonins in front of him, Jiraiya suddenly felt a little heavy.

The core of Konoha is basically gathered in this conference room. If a spy can sneak into this occasion and commit suicide bombing, then Konoha will be completely buried in the grave with the collapsed building.

Remember the last time such a large-scale Jonin meeting was held was the aftermath of the first Ninja World War.

So, what will the theme of this meeting be?

Click.

The door to the conference room rang, and then someone pushed it open from the outside.

"It looks like everyone is here."
